19th Century Round Convex Mirror with Pierced Giltwood Frame

An elegant 19th century convex mirror, richly carved and gilded, offering timeless decorative presence and luminous charm through its pierced giltwood frame and domed glass.


Key Features

  • Authentic 19th century British convex mirror, circa 1880s

  • Finely pierced carved giltwood frame with foliate and floral detailing

  • Classic round convex mirror plate designed to reflect and amplify light

  • Decorative central ribbed ridge drawing the eye inward

  • Original aged gilt finish with rich patina and tonal depth

  • Ideal for hallways, cloakrooms, niches, or overmantels

  • Elegant example of late Victorian decorative craftsmanship


Full Description

This 19th century round convex mirror is a refined and decorative antique, distinguished by its beautifully pierced giltwood frame carved with intricate foliate and floral motifs. The craftsmanship reflects the high standards of late Victorian design, where ornamentation and proportion were carefully balanced to create visual impact without excess.

A pronounced central ribbed ridge subtly draws focus toward the convex mirror plate, enhancing the mirror’s depth and sculptural quality. The domed glass not only serves a practical purpose — reflecting light and broadening spatial perception — but also contributes to the mirror’s unmistakable period character.

The original gilt surface has matured gracefully over time, developing a warm, softly patinated finish that adds authenticity and charm. Perfectly scaled for smaller interior spaces, this mirror works beautifully in light-reflective niches, cloakrooms, powder rooms, or as an accent piece within a layered interior scheme.

Crafted in Britain during the late 19th century, this antique convex mirror stands as a timeless decorative object — equally at home in traditional interiors or used as a contrast piece in more contemporary settings.

Condition

As expected with genuine antiques, this piece shows honest signs of age and use, including minor surface wear, fading, and subtle marks consistent with over a century of history. The gilt finish retains a desirable patinated appearance, and the mirror remains structurally sound. Overall condition is very good and commensurate with age.
